Saint Evil - are you near St Eval by any chance? The mighty Queen is supposed to go on to 2017 but unless something magical happens to the serviceability, I think this is unlikely.
Problem - SAR has a very limited military function and is non-deployable, it costs a lot to run and the platform (Sea King) is an old design with aging avionics and electrics and a known cracking problem.
Answer - let industry provide a new platform/mix of platforms.
Problem - where does industry get the crews?
Answer - Use military crews or a mix of mil and civvy crews.
Problem - will MOD sanction the use of mil pilots for non mil purposes?
Answer - No - make them redundant and let the PFI offer them jobs at less than market rates because they will all have pensions. This eases the need to downsize the military to meet the new defence budget cuts.
Problem - where will the SAR aircraft be based?
Answer - give the PFI all the current locations/hangars etc so the PFI bid looks cheaper on paper than the military cost of providing.
Problem - what about the cost to the taxpayer?
Answer - start charging people to be rescued to offset the costs.
Bye bye Military SAR
